uPVC repair in Salen without replacing anything
Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the frame, including woodgrain finishes. Common call-outs are for burns on sills and damage during building work, on window frames & sills, conservatory frames and white uPVC.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Salen questions
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Can you repair a burn on a uPVC sill?
Yes. We fill and refinish the burnt area to match.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What uPVC repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A photo taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
